Davey's Locker Whale Watching-Orange County is located at 400 Main St., Newport Beach, CA.
You can find parking at the Balboa Pier Municipal Lot on Palm St. and Newport Landing Parking Structure at the corner of E. Bay Ave. and Adams St. Allow plenty of time to deal with unpredictable traffic and parking situations.
Please try to arrive at least 30 minutes before your cruise departure time.
Best to bring drinking water, sunscreen, a hat, a light jacket, a camera, binoculars, and cash if you want to buy light snacks or drinks from the galley.
Please do not bring glass containers, outside alcohol, hard plastic coolers, or strollers on board.
Wear Sea-Bands for acupressure or chew ginger or ginger-flavored candy to relieve nausea. You can also take a Bonine or Dramamine at least 1 hour before you board the boat to prevent motion sickness, or best to take one (1) tablet the night before and (1) more in the morning of your trip.
If you're prone to motion sickness, a morning trip would be best because the water is generally calmer during this time. Noon to afternoon trips would mean more time spent viewing the whales because they have already been located in the morning.
California gray whales can be actively spotted during their extensive migration during the winter and spring season—January through May. Blue whale season starts in early summer—June through September. Humpback, finback, minke whales, and a variety of dolphins can be spotted year-round.
